What stands out here is a clever parametric mapping technique that ensures consistent, automated matching across different aneurysm shapes (i.e., ultimately paving the way for large-scale, repeatable statistical studies &#8211; much needed for further validation and application. While the focus is on aneurysm risk assessment, the underlying method has the potential to reshape how we approach shape analysis across a range of biomedical challenges and could be applied to other organs or medical fields, making this paper well-rounded for this award.<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i class=\"fa-solid fa-award\"><\/i> <strong>Best Paper\u00a0Honorable Mention<\/strong> \u2022 Mahmood Alzubaidi, Uzair Shah, Marco Agus, Corrado Cali, Pierre J.
